Abstract

The objective of this research work was to analyze the psychological effects on the loss processes during the perinatal period by means of a qualitative approach to establish the importance of psychological work. It was possible to identify the processes of loss that women go through in this perinatal period, establishing that they not only refer to bodily or gestational losses but also to psychological losses, for these findings a focus group was conducted and a bibliographic review was made. Therefore, the development of the first objective allowed conceptualizing the perinatal period, through bibliographic references. Subsequently, the second objective identified the processes of loss during the perinatal period, the third objective analyzed the subjective effects of the losses and, finally, the fourth objective determined the importance of psychological intervention. Finally, from what was done, it was possible to establish that the loss processes in the perinatal period can be of physiological and psychological origin and their effects have an impact on the life of the woman/mother.
